Earlier in the year I
dropped a rather used looking brake
master cylinder plus servo unit of at my local brake specialist C&C Parts, with the instructions to renovate
them or replace with new units where necessary.
After a few days I
received a message that they had completed the inspection. It turned out to be
best to refurbish the servo unit, though the diaphragm had to be replaced. And
the piston rod needed machining to get rid of any oxidation damage. But the
master cylinder was beyond economical repair so that would have to be replaced
with an new one.
And after authorizing the
order there was nothing more I could do but wait for a message that the order was
ready for collection. This took slightly longer than expected, but a few weeks ago I was able to collect the
parts. And as ever their work looks rather good as these pictures clearly show:
The new (old stock) brake
master cylinder
The refurbished brake
servo
And they even had the correct brake fluid reservoir in stock!
So as soon as the DHC gets out of here still mandatory annual hibernation
I will fit these to the car. But before that I hope I will be able to use ‘t
Kreng for a few runs. I really had hoped
the weather would have been good enough to take her out as today was the first day
that both cars were allowed on the road again after their three month
hibernation. Sadly the weather didn’t cooperate. So instead of enjoying some driving,
I went to the shed to search for a part that will be needed for another upgrade
I have in mind for the DHC before Club Triumph’s 10CR. And I found one, though
it needs some tender loving care as the bearing and the viscous coupling both
are pretty worn. Also to be continued …
